[py-configparser-devel] get-option: inheritance from `default' broken.

[Станислав Кондратьев]

Hello,

In Python's configparser the default section is supposed to supply
missing options for the rest sections.  In py-configparser this
doesn't work.  I suggest fixing %get-option as follows:

(defun %get-option (config section-name option-name if-does-not-exist)
  (let* ((section (%get-section config section-name))
         (norm-option (norm-option-name config option-name))
         (option (or (assoc norm-option
                            (section-options section)
                            :test #'string=)
                     (assoc norm-option
                            (section-options (config-defaults config))
                            :test #'string=))))
    (if (null option)
        (if (eq if-does-not-exist :error)
            (error 'no-option-error) ;; no such option error
            (values (car (push (list (%validate-option-name norm-option))
                               (section-options section)))
                    section))
        (values option section))))
